Provisions of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Bill 2006, and the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Bill 2006

Information about the inquiry

On 8 November 2006, the Senate referred the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Bill 2006 and the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Bill 2006 to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee for inquiry and report by 28 November 2006.

The committee previously held an inquiry and reported on the exposure draft of this legislation in April 2006. Therefore, it is intended that this inquiry will concentrate on any issues which arise from changes made to the Bill since the exposure draft.
